tlIueS, Lne original wooden trusseS having
been replaced with iron girders some ten
years ago. Workmen have been
busily engaged all day in re-
moving the debris from the street and
from the embankment. No attempt was
made to save any portion of the train.
AT late hour in the day, as the work OF
removing the wreck was progressing, ad-
ultlonal evidences were found of the
terrible nature of the disaster. In some
places were fragments of flesh or pieces
OF Clothing which had belonged
10 some victim whose re-
mains had been previously removed
everythiog, scarcely a splinter beng re-
moved that was not stained with the blood
OF victims. Most OF the pieces of clothing
found were from the garments OF women,
the number of whom on the train was
much larger than that of men and the
fatality among them proportionately
greater. In one place the bodies OF seven
women were taken out in row, all hor-
ribly mangled.
CUT IN TWO.
One woman was cut completely in two,
the upper hall of her body only being
found, A pathetic sight was that of two
girls with arms around one another,
clinging together in the embrace of death.
Both had bsen killed by blows on the
head. In many cases axes and crow bars
were necessary in order to free persons
VINO were pini0ned in the wreck. In two
cases 1t was necessary to cut two of the
bodies in order to get them out. They were
already crushed out of any semblance
to human shape and were 30 tightly
wedged in that they could be removed in
no other way. One old lady was taken
from a car uninjured, but with her cloth
Ing torn to shreds and presenting a gen.
orally forlorn appearance. She said that
the women in her car seemed to be panic
stricken at the moment the crash occur
red. They all screamed and shouted,
praying for release. She saw one woman
dying in seat, while another woman
had her head pillowed on the dying
Woman's breast.
AWoMAN DECAPITATED.
One of the most terrible scenes at the
accident was that presented to those who
first hurried to the street under the
bridge. The headless trunk of a woman
was found lying across the timber with
one arm completely gone and her lower
limbs all cut and mangled. Her mead
was found among the tangled iron frag.
ments of the car a lew feet away. Some
of those who were slightly injured Were
so daZed alter being taken out that they
could not realize what had occurred.
One man was seen to walk from the wreck
IN the direction of Roslindale. When
about dozen yards from the wreck be
fell dead, either from excitement or inter-
nal injuries.
A BLOOD BESPATrERED QUEEN.
Daniel Roundy, OF Roslindale, had a
most remarkable experience, and his
escape from death Is considered miracu-
lous- He was in the smoking car, and
was playing cards with Ed Snow, Harry
Gay and sarseanJ Lailler. The crash
came, and the next thing he knew he was
in the muddy street absolut -ly uninjured
and holding in his hand the queen OF dia-
mOnds, which was covered with blood.
His three companions had all been killed.
